We ate here on Sunday for the first time. The Sunday Brunch was being offered at the time we were there. Coffee is pressed, fresh, full bodied taste and just right for an eye opener. For starters I had the Yogurt Parfait (fantastic) followed by the Frittata made w/ lobster, veggies & cheese. It was absolutely delicious and presentation was... More

We arrived 15 min early for our reservation but were seated right away. The service was excellent the whole dinner. The server was attentive but not overdoing it. We had an asparagus salad, chicken dinner which was delicious, pecan pie and a few cocktails for two people which was about 125.00! Not bad! If you go, request a table by... More

Had dinner with wife and son. Expensive but high quality food. The service was very good and our food was excellent. We got to watch the sunset over the bay and ran a rather large bill but felt it was worth it. I would recommend it to my friends.

Our large group ate here in early February 2013. We had reservations and were seated upstairs in two long tables. The decor and ambience were very good. Our service was good, with one waitress per table, devoted only to our group. The bad news, and I really hate to be the bearer, is the food. I do praise the chef,... More

We're locals who always enjoy the magnificent view of Little Traverse Bay, the personable servers, who know the food, the regional microbrews, and the inventive food presentations. Vegetarians will not suffer with such a varied menu. Plus you can make excellent meals from the wide variety of small plate offerings. The mushroom bisque, caprese salad and Margherita pizzas are can't... More

We ate here on 01/20/13 for dinner. We made a reservation requesting a window seat. Upon arrival we walked straight in and to our table right at the window. I think we were only missing the little "reserved" card. Bread and oil came quick which was very good. Drinks were reasonable. Food was exceptional. An app we had was the... More

Went to Palette for my third time hoping the food would live up to the hype and the very nice job they did on the building itself. Unfortunately after two very average meals, I experienced more of the same. The staff is friendly and does a nice job but the food just misses the mark. Overcooked fish was my most... More

Loved the atmosphere and view. It was very relaxed, I liked the olive oil and balsamic vinegar they offered with the bread I went and bought some the next day. A little pricey but I was not disappointed!! The food was great and the service was wonderful. Try to get a table near the windows!!
